Colt Keith injury update: Here's when #Tigers think second baseman will play again freep.com/story/sports/m…

Jace Jung struck out swinging to strand the bases loaded in the top of the first inning. He then couldn't stop a hard-hit grounder from Yuli Gurriel with runners on the corners in the bottom of the first inning. The Royals have three hits off Tarik Skubal. #Tigers down, 1-0.

Jake Rogers reaches safely on an infield single, and Zach McKinstry scores on a throwing error by pitcher Alec Marsh. Sprint speed from Rogers: 27.5 feet per second. Tie game, 1-1. #Tigers

Riley Greene, solo home run. Exit velocity: 112.1 mph. Distance: 427 feet. The #Tigers take a 2-1 lead over the Royals in the third inning.

Aggressive send by Joey Cora, incredible slide from Jace Jung to beat the tag from Salvador Pérez. The #Tigers score two runs on Trey Sweeney's double into the right-field corner with one out in the third inning, making it 4-1.

Tarik Skubal gets the job done in the biggest moment to complete his most important start of the season (so far), striking out Salvador Pérez. He struck out Pérez with a down-and-in changeup to win a seven-pitch battle, stranding two runners in the fifth inning. #Tigers

A.J. Hinch: "We've played pretty good baseball for a while, and we've largely stayed away from the talk of any standings. That doesn't really matter until the next game, but I know we're playing well. I know we're a tough team to deal with." #Tigers

Jace Jung: "I felt the plate, didn't feel a tag, and I was like, 'Oh yeah, I'm going to get pumped up now.' I got really excited and tried to hype up the guys after." #Tigers freep.com/story/sports/m…

#Tigers ace Tarik Skubal roared again, but this one felt different for so many reasons "We need to keep winning, and hopefully, we can control our own destiny down the stretch." On Skubal's big start and clutch strikeout: freep.com/story/sports/m…

The #Tigers climbed the standings without expectations. "In all honesty, us being in this position, we didn't really think we would be here," said Matt Vierling, who played in the 2022 World Series. Now there's everything to lose in the wild-card race. freep.com/story/sports/m…
